Canal Park in downtown Duluth is nirvana for any boat nerd when a freighter is coming into the port. One day in November when the Edward L. Ryerson was upbound was certainly no exception. The crowd began to gather when she was just a spec on the horizon. As she got closer the PA system announced her arrival, this the third time she had sailed through the canal. The Ryerson has been laid up in Sturgeon Bay, WI since 1998 and returned to service on the lakes this summer. What a treat to see this stately vessel in service again!
